I'm setting up communal clotheslines here, for anyone whose bedding is waterlogged. Bring as much strong wire or string as you can if you can find it.

We work best when we aid one another.

This isn't right now-

[He braces her immediately]

-and I don't want you to get upset, but I'm getting sicker.

[The needle stops, and she looks up at him.]

-- you haven't found someone who can heal you?

[But.]

[She hears the 'but.']

It's not enough.

Undertaker is helping me prepare a small apartment. Somewhere quiet.

I'd like it if I could still take meals here with you all. Days, weekends, even. But I think a quieter place to rest would be healthier, in the long run.

Of course. That makes sense.

[She starts sewing again, in silence this time.]

.. can I sleep with you and Emily tonight? I promise I'll be quiet.

Absolutely.

I was hoping you'd help decorate the spare room. Since it's yours. Whenever you need a little peace and quiet yourself.

Break --

[She looks at him, then stretches out the thread, breaking it with her teeth as she finishes sewing Emily up.]

You don't have to.

Katara, I do not make friends easily, or particularly comfortably. If you play the game where you make me push you to follow me, I'll fail. I won't be able to insist. But my door is open to you for a reason.

[The frankness startles her, but she smiles after a moment.]

It's not that. If it's open to me because you want me to visit -- then good. I will, and happily. I just don't want you to feel like you've got an obligation to us just because you've lived here.

[She stands up, settling Emily in his lap.]

I have an obligation to you because you're as good as family.

[Holding the doll.]

And because I am not willing to lose you.

[Leaning down, kissing the top of his head.]

I've always wanted a crazy tea-addicted uncle.

[He grins up at her.]

And I've always wanted someone to help me fix my new floorboards.

I know - but people forget.

Just always remember that you're welcome here.
